"The hardest thing in the world is to live only once."
- Ocean Vuong, The Emperor of Gladness
Is death really the end? We may agree that we are living, yet in truth, all of us are slowly dying. Death is inescapable and certain to anyone. The yogic perspective on overcoming the fear of death reveals a much deeper dimension where the dissolution of individuality becomes a transition in the continuum of consciousness. On the path of yoga, each moment of meditative clarity and stillness becomes an act of detachment and a symbolic death - a surrendering of false identification with what is impermanent and ever-changing. The wisdom of the ancient sages prepares us not to fear and escape death, but to meet it with clarity and equanimity, grounded in the knowledge that what truly is cannot perish - our true Self. In this light, death becomes not an end, but a revelation that every yogic practice is a process of returning to our true home which is unborn, eternal and untouched by the cycles of creation and dissolution.
This Satsang invites you to discover death as a teacher and a mirror reflecting the impermance of all life (anitya) and to transform fear into ultimate liberation (mokṣa).
"Fear of death haunts us because we mistake bodily death for our death. Ironically, when we
can let go of this fear and observe the body-mind container with detachment, we begin to live
much more fully."
- Sharon Gannon & David Life, Jivamukti Yoga, p. 185

Huong Nguyen
Huong's spiritual journey began when she was studying medicine in Berlin and became fascinated by the power of meditation. She experimented with various meditation techniques and was amazed by the close connection between the mind and the body. She learned that a calm and peaceful mind not only promotes good health, but also helps us to overcome the challenges we face in life.
It wasn't long before Huong discovered yoga, and she felt instantly at home in a class taught by Anja Kühnel. Since then, Huong has been a passionate yoga practitioner, completing a 200-hour teacher training in 2022 and currently participating in a 630-hour mentorship with her beloved mentor Anja. As she has traveled this path, Huong has come to realize that happiness is not dependent on external circumstances, but rather comes from cultivating kindness, selflessness, and patience in every aspect of our lives. This focus on love and compassion has been especially helpful to Huong in her role as a doctor for internal medicine in a hospital, where she strives to support her patients to the best of her ability.

Huongs spirituelle Reise begann, als sie Medizin in Berlin studierte und von der Macht der Meditation fasziniert war. Sie experimentierte mit verschiedenen Meditationstechniken und war erstaunt von der engen Verbindung zwischen Geist und Körper. Sie lernte, dass ein ruhiger und friedlicher Geist nicht nur die Gesundheit fördert, sondern auch dabei hilft, die Herausforderungen im Leben zu meistern.
Es dauerte nicht lange, bis Huong das Yoga entdeckte und sich in einem von Anja Kühnel unterrichteten Kurs sofort zu Hause fühlte. Seitdem ist Huong eine begeisterte Yoga-Praktizierende und hat 2022 eine 200-stündige Lehrer-Ausbildung abgeschlossen und nimmt derzeit an einem 630-stündigen Mentorship mit ihrer geliebten Mentorin Anja teil. Während ihres Weges hat Huong erkannt, dass Glück nicht von äußeren Umständen abhängt, sondern durch die Kultivierung von Freundlichkeit, Selbstlosigkeit und Geduld in jedem Aspekt unseres Lebens entsteht. Dieser Fokus auf Liebe und Mitgefühl hat Huong besonders in ihrer Rolle als Arzt im Krankenhaus geholfen, in der sie ihre Patienten immer versucht zu unterstützen.
